Load of rubbish!!

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

This is one of the most bizarre short animated films I have ever seen. At first, when it started I was very unimpressed as the animation appears to be really lousy. Pictures looked like they were roughly torn out of a magazine and these pieces of paper were moved using stop-motion. The music also had a real home made quality about it. I was baffled. However, the more I watched the more I enjoyed the film. Much of this enjoyment was because the whole thing was so strange and part of it is because the song has really odd lyrics that made me laugh.The film is about an ugly nobody named George. No one likes or cares about him and his life is miserable. Then one day, an odd growth begins to appear on top of his head. Over time, it becomes a beautiful face--much like Michelangelo's statue of David. And, because he was an ugly nobody, George wore his clothes in a way that hid is ugly nobody face and everyone thought the growth was him! Then, as a result of getting this odd sort of makeover, his life changed dramatically. Everyone loved him and eventually he parlayed this into becoming President--all due to a weird lump! There's much more to the story than this, but as you could tell by the description it's bizarre but somehow likable and different....very, very different!

At least it has a story, a sort of fable: a loser is employed as a gargoyle model. He grows a lump on the top of his ugly head that has a handsome face. He hides his real face and his life turns around, even Chauncey Gardener-wise becomes president. And not just president, but one that people admire, listen to and follow. (You might say: here's a drunk and crack addict who finds God.)But because he still is a dummy, his vice president and advisers talk him into all sorts of crazy things that get him and them in trouble. Its a fable for our time.Its animated using paper cutouts, similar to South Park, but with more detail. It doesn't quite work for me. I think its because the drawings (and photos) on the cutouts have to have some relevance to how they are used. The medium has to have some harmony among its components; if it doesn't, the tension carries meaning and the meaning has to be something we can reach somehow. This is disintegrated with no purpose, except that it can be done.Ted's Evaluation -- 1 of 3: You can find something better to do with this part of your life.

I'm all for projects in arts by all people, but this defies all natural ability and reason to even do something. I think 2nd graders could make a better short film involving their Elmers glue and sparkles then what this was. And to think more then 1 person actually worked on this, guess it was a group effort to make it bad.

I'm probably the only one who cares to watch O Canada on Cartoon Network. This is one of the first cartoons I saw on the show, and the song from this toon has been stuck in my head ever since. It's quite a creative animated musical in which an unpopular man grows a lump on his head that looks like a Greek figure. He pretends this is his head, and he becomes much more popular. However, later the lump ends up getting him into trouble. I'll never forget the one part at the beginning that went like "If he ever asked out a woman, she would nearly call a cop!" Worth watching.
